ambulation training, balance exercises, and step-up/step-down therapy. They're
ideal for helping patients improve coordination, strength, and mobility across
different rehab stages.
Q. How many stools come in the set, and what are their heights?
A. The set includes four nested foot stools with heights of 2", 4", 6", and 8". They offer step progression, which is useful for gradually increasing therapy difficulty or accommodating different patient needs.
Q. Are these therapy stools height-adjustable?
A. No, the PHS Medical Nested Foot Stools are not height-adjustable individually. However, the set includes four different fixed heights, which allows for step variation without needing adjustment mechanisms.
Q. How much weight can each PHS Medical foot stool hold?
A. Each stool in the set can support up to 350 lbs., thanks to their strong hardwood plywood construction. This load capacity makes them suitable for adult patients in clinical or home therapy settings.
Q. Are the stools suitable for pediatric therapy or smaller users?
A. Yes, the variety of heights (starting from just 2 inches) makes the stools suitable for both pediatric and adult therapy. The smaller steps are especially helpful for younger or lower-mobility patients.
Q. Do the PHS Medical Nested Foot Stools have a non-slip surface?
A. Each stool features an anti-slip safety tread on the step surface,
ensuring safe foot placement and reducing the risk of slipping during therapy
sessions.
Q. How do the PHS Medical Nested Foot Stools save space?
A. The stools are designed to nest together, meaning each smaller step fits
inside the larger one, allowing for compact storage in clinics or therapy
centers.
Q. Can the PHS Medical Nested Foot Stools be used for crawling or climbing
activities?
A. Yes, these stools are versatile and can be used for crawling, climbing,
or stepping activities, supporting a variety of physical therapy exercises for
balance and mobility.
Q. Can these PHS Nested Foot Stools be used on carpet or smooth floors?
A. Yes, but it's best to place them on a stable, flat surface. While the anti-slip tread helps prevent slipping on top, the base does not have rubber feet, so extra caution or non-slip mats may be needed on smooth or slick flooring.
